What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It normally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Strathy may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
About our glazing silicone in Strathy
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. Typical jobs include silicone pulling away from the glass and water tracking down the inner face of the glass, on rooflights, glass-to-frame joints and shower screens.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Strathy is planned around the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Strathy homes and the weather
Strathy is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for glazing joints and frame seals to keep out.
Around Strathy, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Strathy is about 17 miles west of Thurso, in Highland. Anywhere in KW14, we cover glazing silicone for homes and businesses. Strathy is one of 253 places in Highland we cover for glazing silicone.
Jobs for glazing silicone in KW14 is quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. If you’re just outside Strathy, we cover Portskerra (3 miles east), Melvich (3 miles east), Reay (8 miles east), Am Blàran Odhar (8 miles west) and Forss (13 miles east). For island and remote addresses, the job takes a little more planning, so mention it when you ask for a quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
Keep conservatory gutters clear so water doesn’t back up against the seals. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.
Strathy: your questions answered
Is Strathy within the area you cover?
Yes, Strathy is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Strathy for glazing silicone?
Yes, Strathy is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
Glass needs a sealant made for glazing. Ours is a neutral-cure glazing silicone and anti-fungal silicone in wet areas.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Is the work guaranteed?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, glazing sealant included.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available and agree one before we start.
Do you replace glass?
Glass replacement is not our trade. We reseal the joints around it and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-glass joints
These joints are on show, so we take care to leave a neat bead.
Glass-to-frame joints
The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We choose a product that suits both.
Signs you need glazing silicone in Strathy
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
The most common problems we see are:
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
Whether the job is in Strathy itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
Before you book anyone
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What insurance they hold
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It takes into account:
- How many areas need sealing
- How much there is to do
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Mould in or behind the old joints
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The type of property
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Need a quote? Please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details. You will know what we plan to do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.
Why deal with it now?
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. If the leak is a failed sealant joint renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If it’s the roof itself, we will tell you. In an older home around Strathy, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
